Curb Appeal & Privacy: Building a Lasting Cedar Fence in Point Grey

Written By Kerrisdale Lumber

Privacy is a premium in Point Grey and Kerrisdale. A well-built cedar fence doesn’t just keep the neighbors out; it frames your landscaping and adds immediate value to your property.

Why Vancouver Chooses Cedar:

While pressure-treated wood is great for posts, Western Red Cedar is the king of Vancouver fencing. It’s naturally resistant to the fungi that thrive in our damp climate and, more importantly, it looks beautiful.

3 Tips for a "100-Year" Fence:

  • Use 4x4 Pressure-Treated Posts: Don't put raw cedar in the ground; it will rot eventually.

  • Go with Stainless Steel: Standard nails will rust and leave streaks on your beautiful cedar within two winters.

  • Pre-Finish Your Panels: Ask us about our pre-finishing services. Having your fence boards stained before they are nailed up ensures 100% coverage, including the tongues and grooves.
